jú In the last days of the month of May, Politbureau and Farty Secretari
were reorganized; the name of the once most powerful woman of Kastern turope
did not appear on the new liste A few days later, the Kumanian radio and
party newspaper clarified Mrs.Pauker's dismissal, accusing her of having
helped Georgescu's and Luca's rightist and leftist deviations, but stating
that she had acknowledged her errors and remains a Cabinet member. For how
long is an open question ses On June 16th, the Rumanian Federation of Labor
passed a resolution of loyalty ano support to Gheorghiu-Dej and denounced
Anna Pauker together with Georgeseu and Luca as being enemies of the working
class and having opposed the construction of socialism,
The key to these recent developments lies in Moscow's worries about
the Rumanian situation. There has been unrest and growing division in that
strategically important satellite country. Moscow had to find a scapegoat to
be blamed for existing difficulties and plays on anti-semitimm that remains
strong in Kumania. As they had done in past years in Moslem countries, Soviet
leaders today use nationalism to create a community spirit in Kumaniae Anna
Pauker and Georgescu have become the first victims of that campaign. Swift
action is following. Although Anna Fauker is still officially Foreign Minister,
already the heads of the Kkumanian Legation in Israel are being called home:
minister Constantin Stanesco and first secretary Nicolae Stanciu have hastily ©
Left Palestime to-return to Bucarest.

An important movement is taking place since 2 few weeks all along
and Berlin. An increasing stream of refugees is moving in from the Hast, They
are mostly younger men, among them numerous World War 11. veterans. Bringing
along their army convocation papers, they all give their wish of avoiding

Germanye |
This large-scale movement proves that wast German army has already —
passed the stage of organization of its caders. At present these are being |
filled; draftees are called in for actual service. On the basis of their |
number, military experts have calculated that in a few months Last Germany
will dispose of 12 divisions, actually in combat strength. |
Very revealing are also the reports of refugees teiling that in the
last three weeks entire groups of FDJ (Geman Communistic Youth) are being |
taken to Russia where they are trained as pilots for jet-ppopelled MIG fighter
These are all boys between 18 and 20 years of age. |
These recent movements should be carefully watched as they tie in
with what secret infowpmations indicate on Gerwan-Soviet activities in the |
Baltic area and also should be connected with the "zone of death" ercated and —
the forced evacuations carried out all along the demarcation line and around
Berlin.
